The phase structure of hot gauge theories with dynamical matter fields is reexamined in the canonical ensemble with respect to triality. We discuss properties of chromoelectric and chromomagnetic sectors of the theory and show whereas electric charges carrying a unit of Z(N) charge are screened at high temperatures via dynamical matter loops, this is not the case for the Z(N) magnetic flux. An order parameter is constructed to probe the realization of local Z(N) symmetry in the magnetic sector. We argue this order parameter may be used to detect the deconfinement phase transition which is defined in terms of the screening mechanism.

The phase structure of hot gauge theories with dynamical matter fields is reexamined in the canonical ensemble with respect to triality. Since this ensemble implies a projection to the zero triality sector of the theory we introduce a proper quantity which is able to reveal a critical behaviour of the theory with fundamental quarks. We discuss the properties of both the chromoelectric and chromomagnetic sectors of the theory and show while electric charges carrying a unit of Z(N) charge are screened at high temperatures by dynamical matter loops, this is not the case for the Z(N) magnetic flux. An order parameter is constructed to probe the realization of local discrete Z(N) symmetry in the magnetic sector. We argue it can be used to detect a deconfinement phase being defined in terms of the screening mechanism as a phase of unscreened Z(N) flux. It may be detectable at long range via the Aharonov-Bohm effect. We discuss the possible phase structure of QCD in this approach.
We provide the evidence for the existence of partially deconfined phase in large-$N$ gauge theory. In this phase, the SU($M$) subgroup of SU($N$) gauge group deconfines, where $frac{M}{N}$ changes continuously from zero (confined phase) to one (deconfined phase). The partially deconfined phase may exist in real QCD with $N=3$.
Analyzing correlation functions of charmonia at finite temperature ($T$) on $32^3times(32-96)$ anisotropic lattices by the maximum entropy method (MEM), we find that $J/psi$ and $eta_c$ survive as distinct resonances in the plasma even up to $T simeq 1.6 T_c$ and that they eventually dissociate between $1.6 T_c$ and $1.9 T_c$ ($T_c$ is the critical temperature of deconfinement). This suggests that the deconfined plasma is non-perturbative enough to hold heavy-quark bound states. The importance of having sufficient number of temporal data points in the MEM analysis is also emphasized.
The conception of the conformal phase transiton (CPT), which is relevant for the description of non-perturbative dynamics in gauge theories, is introduced and elaborated. The main features of such a phase transition are established. In particular, it is shown that in the CPT there is an abrupt change of the spectrum of light excitations at the critical point, though the phase transition is continuous. The structure of the effective action describing the CPT is elaborated and its connection with the dynamics of the partially conserved dilatation current is pointed out. The applications of these results to QCD, models of dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking, and to the description of the phase diagram in (3+1)-dimensional $ SU(N_c)$ gauge theories are considered.
We investigate SU(2) lattice gauge theory in four dimensions in the maximally abelian projection. Studying the effects on different lattice sizes we show that the deconfinement transition of the fields and the percolation transition of the monopole currents in the three space dimensions are precisely related. To arrive properly at this result the uses of a mathematically sound characterization of the occurring networks of monopole currents and of an appropriate method of gauge fixing turn out to be crucial. In addition we investigate detailed features of the monopole structure in time direction.
